Draft:Carl Lawson (sprinter)

@Habst - Nice work on Draft:Carl Lawson (sprinter). — ERcheck (talk) 01:36, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ERcheck Thanks, I only just got through his first season of coverage! I think this will be a GA candidate for sure -- I acknowledge that having a ton of one-line stubs for Pan American champs isn't ideal but I wonder if just having the {{Footer Pan American Champions 4x100m Men}} template present could count as a 'indication of importance' re: A7 deletion. I'm currently working on developing a tool to add SIGCOV to articles like these to protect them from A7/WP:SPORTCRIT prong 5 PROD deletion in the future. -- Habst (talk) 01:51, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Habst - I think that the assertion of significance should be in the body of the article, not in a footer (which might be missed). Adding a sentence to the lead that says the subject was a member of a Pan American 4x100m championship team should suffice. That said, I've found that it is sometimes the case that nominators equate assertion of significance with notability when making a A7 speedy delete nomination. — ERcheck (talk) 02:39, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ERcheck, thank you. I created a script to find the Pan Am gold medalist stubs so that we can add an A7-satisfying sentence to the ledes, and this should be done for the relay medalists now. I've moved Carl Lawson (sprinter) back to mainspace and nominated it for GA; I'd appreciate your review if you have the time. --Habst (talk) 18:41, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Habst - Well done to taken it from a deletion-nominated stub to a full, detailed, FA-nominated article! — ERcheck (talk) 18:44, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

New pages patrol January–February 2026 Backlog drive

January–February 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol

The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability.
Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive.
Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants.
Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points.
Streak awards will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds.
Barnstars will also be awarded for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive.
